This Recipe Features

Carnitas

Carnitas

I make my carnitas with carefully selected pork shoulder, lightly seasoned and slowly cooked in manteca—my secret ingredient, also known as “the good stuff.” The result is tender, flavorful pork that’s perfect for tacos, burritos, bowls and more.

Charro Beans

Charro Beans

I make my charro beans by slow-cooking tender pinto beans with crispy bacon, fresh poblano peppers and traditional Mexican seasonings. The result is a hearty, savory side filled with rich, authentic flavor in every bite.
